BY BOBBIE POYNTER
Editor
It’s been three years
since a petition was circulated to allow alcohol sales
in Barbourville.
On Wednesday, Jan. 28,
a new petition began circulating around Barbourville.
It says: “We the undersigned registered voters

recognition
BY JAY NOLAN
Publisher
Congressman Hal Rogers will honor Knox County
Unite. On Tuesday, Feb. 17.
The congressman, along
with Dr. Nora Volkow, Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, and
Michael Botticelli, Acting
Director, White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, will all be at the
EKU Center in Manchester.
They will recognize and
honor outstanding community coalitions for their
volunteer efforts. Our local
Unite group will be honored for their extensive
work with youth.
Proof of how much the
local chapter does and
how worthy they are to
earn recognition was obvious during the chairman’s

The parents of a 14-yearold Knox County boy who
was struck and killed by a
Knox County EMS ambulance in August have filed
a lawsuit claiming negligence on the part of the
ambulance service and the
driver, Kevin French, led to
their son’s death.
According to the lawsuit
filed Monday in Knox Circuit Court, Rodney Callender and Holly Dale Johnson
are seeking to recoup the
medical and funeral expenses totaling $15,603.

Barbourville attorney Paul Baker and his daughter were forced off the road and into the ditch at the intersection of
Pope Hollow Road and So. Hwy 11. This is the fourth recorded crash at this intersection since the first of the year.
DOT to investigate dangerous stretch of Hwy 11
BY BOBBIE POYNTER
Editor
A particularly dangerous stretch
of highway at the entrance to Pope
Hollow Road on South KY 11 in
Barbourville has claimed even
more victims.
On Sunday, Feb. 1, prominent
Barbourville attorney Paul Baker
and his daughter were traveling
north of S. KY 11 when their vehicle was struck by a another vehicle
heading south and sliding into
their lane on the wet road. Baker
swerved in an attempt to avoid
the collision, but was unable to
do so and was struck in the driver
side doors, causing his vehicle to
leave the roadway and strike a fire
hydrant with his passenger side
front door. Baker’s vehicle had to
be towed.
This makes the fourth recorded
crash at that intersection since the
first of the year.
There have been more than 30
recorded crashes at that intersection in only two years. A great number more have gone unrecorded
due to a lack of injuries or other
vehicles involved. Tragically, two
fatalities have also been recorded,
one on April 7, 2009, in a head-on
collision, and another single vehicle crash fatality on May 29, 2012.
Barbourville Mayor David
Thompson has witnessed a large
majority of the crashes and has
been aware of many others due
to the fact that his home is located
directly in the path of vehicles that
have lost traction coming around
the curve.
“I’ve had cars upside down in my
driveway, others that have hit the
porch and still others that came to

“It’s time for us to roll up our shirt sleeves and get going.”
-- Denise Wainscott, Director, Barbourville Tourism
BY BOBBIE POYNTER
Editor
Barbourville
Tourism
asked Knox County residents what they feel would
be good for their city and
county’s future.
“This is going to be a
working plan, not one that
just sits on the shelf,” said
Debbie Spencer, president
of We Make Things Happen!, who along with Barbourville Tourism, hosted
two events Jan. 29 to hear
ideas on what the community feels will help improve
tourism in the area, not
just for tourists, but for its
citizens as well.
“We’re hoping to develop our strategic action
plan,” said Tourism Director Denise Wainscott. “We
want more than just day
visitors. We want tourists
visiting our town to stay
overnight or even longer.”
Spencer began by describing several strategic
plans that have worked
out well for other communities, including outdoor adventures, horseback riding and unique
dining spots. A strategic
plan in Knott County, she
explained, was completed in only a year and a
half and included a trail
ride. It drew 10,000 people
into the community and
brought in $2.3 million in
revenue into that region.
A big plus for this area,
Spencer said, is that Knox
County has a wealth of
history, not to mention all
the firsts the area claims,
including:
• 1st settlement house
in Kentucky (c. 1750)
➢
Dr. Thomas Walker
State Historic Site
• 1st trails and roads in
KY (c. 1775) all come together in Knox County.
➢ Boone Trace, Wilderness Road, Warriors Path
all come together at Daniel Boone Memorial Park
in Flat Lick
•1st town in east Kentucky to formally be established by the state assembly (1812).
➢ Incorporated in 1854.
•1st Battle of the Civil
War that resulted in casualties occurred in Barbourville (1861)
•1st College in the
mountains – Union College (c. 1879)
•In the 1800’s , Barbourville was the largest
and most progressive city
south of Richmond.
• Knox County was
formed in 1799 from Lincoln (one of Kentucky’s
original nine counties)
• Counties created from
Knox include Clay, Rockcastle, Whitley, Harlan,
Laurel and Bell.
• Knox County was
home to two Kentucky
Governors, a governor of
Missouri, a supreme court
justice, and a founder of
the state of Texas.
• Oldest continuously
running festival in Kentucky – Daniel Boone Festival
Of course, the discussion was not all about the
positives. Residents were
also given a chance to say
what they felt was wrong
in the city.
Residents
responded
with
• poor entrances into
town
• little parking for dining
• little lodging and/or
event space
• poor or non-existent
street signs
• no family activities
•poor communication
between organizations
• non-existent night
scene
• division of townfolk
and Union College
• buildings in downtown
are empty
• locals don’t support

Officials: hospital financial
situation improving
BY JAY NOLAN
Publisher
“The bad bleeding is
behind us. We are not in
a panic anymore.” That’s
how Knox Hospital consultant Greg Britt summed
up the Knox Hospital’s
financial situation during a
presentation to the board
at Monday’s meeting.
Britt made those comments during a nearly twohour session, after board
members had extensively
reviewed details of the
hospital’s financial situation. “Our next cost report
should be favorable and
comparable to this year.”
Britt added.
Several factors, such
as government program
reimbursement calculations, complicated federal
billing procedures, multiple revenue sources and
highly regulated cost reimbursement make tracking
hospital finances a very
complex process. But,
overall, Britt and several
board members feel the
indicators for the facility
are turning more positive.
The hospital reported
profits of $290,327 in
October, and $158,211 in
November before posting
a $133,531 loss in December, making the last
quarter positive overall.
“They (Federal government) pay us this year for
last year’s cost. So, by the
time we get our 2016 year
rates, we should be cash
flow positive,” Britt told
the board.
While agreeing with Britt
overall, board member
Tom Odell Smith noted,
“We are probably another year away from being
comfortable and financially solid in our day-to-day
operations. We have to
operate in a 2016 pattern
as we do 2015 work.”
Smith said.
Smith and hospital
administrator Ray Canady
also gave much credit for
the improved financial position to the professional
staff at the hospital.
“The employees are
doing their part to help
keep the hospital open,
and they could have
easily gone the other
way,” Smith noted. “We
have some great people,”
Canady added.
Reports to the board
show the hospital has paid
a large chunk of the inherited amount they owed to
Medicare when they took
over the bankrupt facility.
Payments made have reduced that debt by nearly
$750,000.
Unfortunately, the board
also got some bad news.
The state Office of Inspector General (OIG) is holding up the facility’s MRI
certificate. OIG is requiring
an 18-foot long canopy
first be erected at the outside entrance to the MRI
department. Board members discussed options,
and the group agreed to
have board member Mark
Moran assist Canady in addressing the canopy issue.
The board also had a
long discussion about
the hospital Emergency
Room. Member Derrick
Poff mentioned how
important that department
is on the community’s
perception of the entire
hospital.
“We are getting better,”
Poff told the board, “but
we have to stay on top of
our ER service levels.” He
summarized the discussion by saying he believes,
“Communications with
the patient is key.”
Canady assured the
board he agrees with their
concerns, saying, “We personally work on this (ER
department) all the time.”
Over 1,300 patients visited
the ER during December
alone.
In closing, the board
approved the most recent
committee report and
recommendations from
the Medical staff. It also
formally approved purchase of some equipment
needed to replace critical system or machines
that had broken down
between board meetings, and heard a positive

“The test of democracy is

Time to tell the truth about ourselves
We in the newsroom are
quick to point out what
others in the community
are doing. Let a petition for alcohol sales in
Barbourville hit the street
and we get the word out
quickly.
We cover city government, the county fiscal
court, and more. Just ask
any public official, from
the Judge-Executive to a
city council member, and
they can probably tell you
a story or two about dealing with our reporters.
But, when it comes to
reporting on ourselves,
we newspaper folks are
terrible! Good or bad, we
From the
Publisher
Jay Nolan
[email protected]
usually don’t report on
“us.”
Did you know, for example, that the latest surveys
show the “pass rate.”
(The number of people
reading and passing along
to another their newspaper) is up 13% from 2.3 to
2.6 folks per paper? That
means there are over
12,250 people reading the
Mountain Advocate each
week.
We don’t like to discuss
that our traditional hardcopy subscriptions are
down about 200. But, we
also fail to mention over
450 people now have our
new “on-line” digital only
subscription to this newspaper.
And, we almost never
report about our digital
viewership. Guess how
fast that is growing? Our
home page, which was
only viewed a couple hundred times five years ago,
recently experienced over
14,000 distinct computers
“logging in” during just
one month.
Nearly 75% of the folks
locally who visit us online
today, do so using their
cell phone. That’s because our web site is now
“mobile friendly.”
Over 8,000 viewers in
one evening tuned in to
our live election coverage
last November. And that
partnership of Mountainadvocate.com with KCPSmedia.com also continues
today, as hundreds watch
the live streaming of our
high school basketball
games of the week.
Community newspapers
like yours, doing all kinds
of neat stuff and providing
local stories readers can’t
get anywhere else, helped
advertising for the newspaper industry as a whole
go up 4% last year. In fact
61% of Kentuckians say
their newspapers are their
primary source for information from advertising.
So, I think we should
report the facts about us.
Newspapers are changing.
More readers are viewing
our products online and
from their phones.
But, remember the
prediction boldly made
in 2007 that “newspapers would be gone in 10
years?” Well, I called that
bet. I think if a newspaper
serves its community well,
adapts with the times,
and is not afraid to tell
readers the truth, community newspapers will
be around for a long, long
time.

Letter to the Editor
Thoughts on the “Push for Alcohol in Barbourville 2015”
--1 in 10 KY drivers are
driving impaired because
of drugs and alcohol (1 in
3 in CO)
One of the most
effective training tools
for school-aged kids to
recognize the dangers of
drugs has been a program
by UNITE ON THE MOVE.
It uses simulators, which
mimics the reaction time
our bodies have to life
situations at different
levels of impairment. It
gives the reactions when
a person has one drink or
drug or several and how
it affects reaction time. It
is powerful because it is
very sobering. Kids who
are able to think get to see
what happens when they
have taken substances
that hinder their thinking.
It is impacting.
To introduce into our
community more readily
available mind altering
substances and seek to
legitimize it to our young
people is ludicrous. Our
kids pick up on hypocrisy
quickly. To tell them no
and do it ourselves is to
destroy our credibility and
damage relationships.
Negative relationships are
one of the reasons people
do drugs and alcohol
anyway. It is dumb to feed
these negative emotions
into the lives of our youth
and hope they will make
the decision not to look for
pain relievers. Give them
positive relationships and
examples.
--Barbourville is One of
the Best Places to Live in
SE KY—a recognition our
community received last
year. Alcohol brings all
kinds of damage to society
with it. It is significant that
we are the only city in SE
KY
that is not wet or moist.
There is a direct connection to this dry status and
the sense of well being
we walk around in. Go
wet and we will lose that
sense of peace and safety.
Knox County is the 12th
poorest county in the nation now (out of 3,144). To
introduce more substance
abuse into our economy is
suicidal.
--Recently, a spokesperson for our county schools
addressed an anti-drug
meeting in our community. In the Q&A afterwards
one of the folks asked,
“What drug do our kids
struggle most with right
now?” His answer was
quick, “Alcohol.” Thinking
he misunderstood, some-
one repeated the question
regarding drugs, and he
again said, “Alcohol.”
Alcohol is a gateway drug,
a companion drug, and a
reactionary drug mixed
with the wrong companion drugs. We don’t need
it.
--God’s Word says that
alcohol is a brawler and
a reason that leaders
make wrong decisions
and jeopardize the justice
for needy people. Alcohol
clouds logic and crushes
the poor and needy in
court. It is not for leaders
to drink and fail in their
jobs. Proverbs 20, 23,
and 31 are sobering and
accurate looks at God’s
view on the matter. Let’s
not fool ourselves or make
a fool of ourselves.

Mayor Thompson. “I’m not
worried about the cars. I’m
more concerned about the
people.”
The mayor was at home
during each of the two fatality crashes.
“I would rather have not
been the first person to
come up and see the tragedies that had occurred,”
said Thompson. But, I had
no choice. I had to see if I
could help. I’d be happy if
I were never put into that
position again.”
About two years ago, the
Barbourville Street Department and the Kentucky Department of Transportation
removed all the trees along
the curve at Pope Hollow,
believing that the sap from

feel Barbourville should

“The legal sale of alcohol
will help get rid of the bootleggers in the area, making
it a lot harder for kids to
buy alcohol,” said resident
Scot Clouse.
Clouse added another
plus would be the added
taxable income from the
alcohol revenue the city
would receive from alcohol sales.
“Part of the revenue can
go to the police department,” he said, “and right
now they need the money.”
Tabatha Hoffman, of the
Clanes Nest community,
sees the advent of alcohol
sales in Barbourville as a
plus for everyone.
“Many people like to go
to a nice restaurant and
have a drink with their
meal,” said Hoffman. Right
now, Corbin and London
are getting all those tax
revenue benefits. I’m not
saying everyone going out
to eat has to have a drink
with their meal, but it
would be nice just to have
that option. Besides, Barbourville could sure use
the additional revenue for
our city schools and our
police department.”
Not everyone is ready
to bring alcohol sales into
Barbourville.
Leonard Lester, pastor
of First Advent Christian
Church in Barbourville, is
in no hurry to see Barbourville accept alcohol sales.
“It’s sad that we have to
fight this battle again so
soon,” said Lester. “We’ve

are other factors, such as
current enrollment, class
sizes and building capacity
that school districts must
also consider when working on reciprocal numbers.
The agreement states
that a maximum number of
405 students can live within the Knox County district
and attend Corbin Independent, and a maximum
of 370 students can attend
Barbourville Independent.
This also works the same
for students living in the
Barbourville and Corbin
school districts who attend
Knox County schools.
“The teachers in our district are giving it their all
the trees was making the
road slick. Apparently, that
was not the case because
the number of crashes
continued to pile up.
“Anytime it’s raining, you
know there’s going to be
an accident on that curve,”
said the mayor. “We’ve
had a rainy winter and a lot
of cars have ended upside
down in front of my house.
It’s time we get something
done. We don’t need another fatality before we get
it fixed.”
Sherri Chappell, Chief
District Engineer of the
Kentucky Department of
Transportation, has been
made aware of the problem, and after speaking
with Mayor Thompson
Tuesday, has agreed to
send a DOT representative
down in the next week or
so to assess the situation.
“She was very receptive,” said Thompson of his
discussion with Chappell.
She realized it needed to
be done. She was genuinely concerned about correcting the problem once
and for all.”
Mayor Thompson is confident that DOT will come
in and fix the problem.
“When I was first elected mayor, we had a fatality in front of the new
high school. I was really
impressed when the highway department quickly
stepped in and put up a
stoplight at the intersection. I remember being
told by DOT that the light
wouldn’t stop the fender
benders, but it should help
prevent any more fatalities.
I feel strongly that DOT
will take care of this just
like they did then. I see a
cure very soon.”
battle. Our festivals bring
families consistently into
our community to enjoy a
safe friendly environment.
“When alcohol is introduced too many times, fear
comes with it and rightfully
so, because people’s judgment and emotions, their
inhibitions are negatively
affected by alcohol and it
changes the atmosphere.
Police have to be brought
in to control people who
are under the influence
and who have gotten
stirred up for whatever
reason. Our community is
not totally perfect, but it is
one of the top places in our
region. We are unique that
we don’t have alcohol and
that makes it better, not
worse.”
“I am a parent of a teenager, and I have read the
latest statistics from the
CDC,” said local resident
Steve Smith, “They show
that 11 percent of alcohol
is consumed by people under 21. It also shows that 90
percent of that number is
actively engaged in binge
drinking. The Knox County Health Department says
we are one of the leading
counties in the state, as
well as the country, for
teenage pregnancies and
sexually transmitted diseases.
So what I see is a recipe
for disaster. This is a waste
of taxpayers’ money, and I
am confident this will be
defeated once again.”
KRS 242.020 states that
in order for the petition
to go through, it will need
signatures equal to 25 percent of the qualified voters
in the 2014 regular election or, according to Mike
Corey, Knox County Clerk,
approximately 600 signatures.
The last time alcohol a
sales petition was put to
the vote was Feb. 7, 2012.
The vote passed in Corbin,
but failed in Barbourville
by 104 votes.
“The petition three years
ago had huge support from
both sides,” said Barbourville Mayor David Thompson, “but, ultimately, it was
defeated by a significant
number of votes. The voters now have had a couple
of years to look at what has
happened in our surrounding towns, and I think it’s
the right way to do it. Let
the voters make the decision.
“Lots of scenarios were
brought up last time about
how it would be if it was or
was not wet. Now everyone has had the chance
to see how it has worked
in the towns that passed it,
and they can now decide
whether they still feel the
same way they did three
years ago, or if this time
they feel it should pass.”
Mayor Thompson says
he is glad the voters are
once again getting the
chance to make a choice.
“I think it’s a choice that
should be left up to the voters,” he said. “A few years
ago, I didn’t hear anybody
complain. It was voted on,
defeated, and people went
on with their lives. I don’t
expect any less this time.”
By law, petitioners have
six months to file from
the date the petition was
first signed on Jan. 28. The
county then has no earlier
than 60 days or no later
than 90 days after the petition was filed to hold a local option election, paid for
by the Fiscal Court, which,
according to Ed Tye, Knox
County Treasurer, in 2012
amounted
to
around
$6,500. The only stipulation
is that the election cannot
be scheduled 30 days before or following a regular
election. )The 2015 regular
election is Nov. 3.) If the
petitioners do not specify a
date, the Judge Executive
will designate a date for
the election.
To date, no attorney of
record has been retained
to represent the originators
of the petition.
Petitions can be found in
local businesses throughout Barbourville.

“We filed the case so
we can begin the discovery process,” said David
O. Smith, the attorney representing Callender’s parents, noting while he has a
copy of the preliminary police report, an independent
accident reconstructionist
has completed an investigation.
However, Kentucky State
Police, who have been
investigating the wreck,
have yet to answer three
of the biggest questions,
how fast was the ambulance going, were the ambulance’s lights and sirens
activated when the ambulance struck Callender and
two other teens and was
French under the influence
of alcohol or drugs?
Trooper Shane Jacobs,
public affairs officer at Post

of the incident would be
released until the investigation was completed and

On the subject of the

who are direct descendants of Daniel Boone and
his family.

Knox County grand jury.
When it was learned the
case was not presented to
the grand jury in January,
Jacobs said investigators
are still awaiting results of
the blood tests from the
state police crime lab in
Frankfort.
In addition to negligence,
the plaintiffs are also claiming French violated the
statutory laws governing
the operation of an ambulance.
The speed limit in the
area is 55 mph.
Under Kentucky Law,
emergency vehicles transporting a patient to medical
facilities are not subject to
posted speed limits provided the lights and sirens are
activated.
However, even with the
lights and sirens activated,
the driver is not relieved
of, “the duty to drive with
regard for the safety of all
persons and property upon
the highway,” the statute
states.
The wreck occurred
about 10 p.m. that evening.
Callender and two other juveniles, identified
through social media as
Keyshawn Blevins and
Trenton Brock, were riding
their bikes north on U.S.

then encouraged the community utilize the web for

Part of her job, she said, is

“It’s a strong investment,” she said.
She also suggested the

which there are lots of
grants and opportunities
available.
After all was said and

Barbourville and Knox

“Tourism has an open

and struck the trio as they
rode their bikes in the median dividing the four-lane
highway.
The collision report, obtained through an open
records request to the state
police lists “inattention”
as a human factor in the
collision and notes French
failed to maneuver the ambulance to avoid the collision. The juveniles were
struck with the left front
bumper of the ambulance.

council vowed to help the

City Clerk Helen Strong
says that is not the case.
We’re only adjusting the
salary amounts budgeted
for two officers who no
longer work for the department,” she said. “We’re
not taking anything away
from the department itself.
But, the city does have bills
to pay, and as we can’t add

have to find money to pay
those bills with what we already have.”

For the Mountain Advocate
Union College has established a campus chapter of
the Appalachia Service Project (ASP) that will lend student hands to help families
of the local community.
The project, entitled College Service Project, is the
culmination of a partnership between the ASP of
Johnson City, Tenn., and
Union College. The endeavor, which was formally announced during an event on
Jan. 21, will lend year round
assistance to local families
in need of home repairs.
“I am extremely proud of
the partnerships we’ve built
with our students, our community and our region,”
said Union President Marcia
Hawkins, Ph.D. Hawkins sits
on the board of the ASP and
helped to foster this initiative. “Today, we celebrate
another partnership, one
that began 40 years ago,
here on this campus, with
a two week long outreach
program to make people’s
homes safe, warm and dry.”
Rev. Glenn “Tex” Evans
founded ASP in Barbourville
in 1969. In its first year of service, ASP fixed four homes
with the help of 50 volunteers. Last year, the organization repaired 650 homes
with the help of 17,000 volunteers in the 32 communities its serves throughout
Appalachia, said Walter
Crouch, CEO of ASP.
“The relationship be-
tween Union College and
Appalachia Service Project
is historic,” said Crouch.
“Without Union College’s
early support, ASP would
not exist.”
Crouch added that it is
fitting that Union College
be one of the first institutions to develop a student
group to serve the community through the College Service Project. Other campus
chapters of the Appalachian
Service Project have been
established at University of
Wisconsin, Madison; Wilmington; Virginia Tech and
Appalachian State University.
The ASP College Service
Project will be a student led
program focused on home
rehabilitation projects in
hopes of making those
homes, warmer, safer and
drier for the families that
live there. The program will
be a partnership between
the college, ASP, Kentucky
Communities
Economic Opportunity Council
(KCEOC) and Lend-A-Hand.
It will continue collaborative
efforts began in the campus
community through programs such as Repair Affair.
But, unlike Repair Affair,
which initiates projects for
just one day a year, College
Service Project at Union
College will allow students
to manage repair projects
throughout the year. The
project will be managed
through the Common Partners program on campus, a
sought due to a coal marketing problem and is being requested for an initial period of
six (6) months. The deferment
may be renewed for additional
periods up to a maximum of 30
months.
The application has been
filed for public inspection at
the Department for Natural Resources Middlesboro Regional
Office, 1804 East Cumberland
Avenue, Middlesboro, Kentucky
40965. Written comments or
objections must be filed within
ten (10) days of this notice with

program that manages various other service-oriented
projects for students.
“We are very fortunate to
have programs here with
such strong roots and to
have students so interested
in what it means to serve
their community,” said Jodi
Carroll, Director of the Common Partners and College
Service Project initiatives.
Carroll said the College
Service Project would further engage students in
learning as they serve, allowing them to manage all
facets of each project from
start to finish.
“Our students will develop various skill sets as well
as values,” Carroll said.
“And, we will be graduating
students who will really be
able to internalize what it
means to be engaged citizens.”
One of those students,
Joey Davenport, helped to
announce the launch of
the College Service Project
at Union. Davenport has
helped lead Repair Affair
projects within the community and will assist in managing this initiative. Davenport
said students have already
been reviewing applications from local residents
in hopes of soon approving
and beginning projects.
“We hope to have home
visits and set dates for the
start of the projects next
week,” Davenport said. “It’s
great to know our students
can use their skills and abilities to be able to go out and
help their community.”
Davenport said students
have been reviewing applications submitted to them
from ASP headquarters.
But, local residents can begin submitting their own applications for assistance.

The budget for the school
year starts at 1.2 million in
the negative. Kelly Sprinkles, superintendent, assured everyone present
that serious hours had been
spent with finance officer,
Gertrude Smith, and they
were looking for ways to
offset these losses and balance the budget.
Sprinkles stated, “We
have always had full-time
kindergarten in our county, but the state has only
reimbursed us for one-half
day pay. We are asking for
that additional funding,
which would bring another $700,000 to offset our 1.2
million in the hole.”
Gordon Hinkle told the
crowd, “The money coming from the state annually
has been less and less. You
may not know that, but we
do. We really need to tighten our belts. I would like to
thank Sprinkles and Gertrude for spending hours
to try to figure out ways to
save and make this (budget) work.”

Session, Dexter Smith was

Man pleads not guilty to hiring hit man over Internet
BY DEAN MANNING
For the Mountain Advocate
A Corbin man, who is accused of trying to hire a hit
man through an Internet message board nearly two years
ago, won’t be getting out of
jail anytime soon on his most
recent legal charge thanks to a
judge’s ruling Monday afternoon.
Defense attorney Fred Peters entered a not guilty plea
for Tristan James Hall, 31,
during his district court arraignment Monday on a Jan.
26 charge of harassing communications involving his
ex-girlfriend Angela Reeves.
Special Judge Skip Hammons ordered that Hall be
held without bond on newest
charge.
“Considering the other
charges, I think it is best that
we proceed no bond at all on
this new charge,” Hammons
said.
Defense attorney Herbert
Moncier noted during Monday’s hearing that the Kentucky Constitution provides
an “absolute right” to a reasonable bond.
Hammons responded that
there is legal precedent for
holding someone without
bond on a misdemeanor offense, such as harassing communications, when the person
is out of bond and is charged
again with a similar offense.
Local railroad museum
looking for memorabilia
BY DEAN
MANNING
For the Mountain Advocate
Have an old piece of
railroad history?
Perhaps a signal light,
tools, photos or an old
uniform?
Then officials with
the Corbin Tourism and
Convention Commission are asking that you
donate it for display at
the upcoming Corbin
Railroad Museum.
“We are taking any
railroad artifacts,” said
Maggy Kriebel, Director
of Corbin Tourism and
organizer of a special
event this coming Saturday where officials are
hoping to collect railroad related artifacts for
the museum.
“Everyone can come
and donate items. We
will take any type of railroad artifact, it doesn’t
matter where it comes
from,” Kriebel said.
“We don’t have near-
ly enough variety right
now so we are appealing
to the public. We know
there is some good stuff
out there.”
The “Railroad Artifact
Intake Event” will be
held from 11:00 a.m. to
4:00 p.m. Saturday at the
old L&N Depot on Depot Street. Kriebel said
she’s already received
quite a few phone calls
from people interested
in taking part.
“I think the event is
going to be really busy,”
she said. “We’ve had a
lot of calls. One guy is
coming in from Ashland and he wants to
spend the night. He’s
got some stuff to donate.
He thinks it’s the coolest
thing ever.”
People have two options for their items.
They can outright donate them to the museum, or loan them for
display.
Kriebel said she un-
derstands some people
would be reluctant to
completely part with
items they might consider valuable or sentimentally important, so
that’s why the option to
loan items to the museum was offered.
While Tourism officials will take any railroad artifact, Kriebel
said one thing in particular that they are in desperate need of uniforms.
“We’d love for people
to bring old uniforms
in. That’s something we
really want badly,” she
said. “There’s a lot of
railroad stuff out there,
but for some reason
people just don’t think
to keep the uniforms.”
Kriebel said there are
plans for a “crew checkin station” at the museum when it is completed, which is where any
uniforms donated will
be displayed.
“Absent of some type of case
to the contrary that is what I
intend to do,” Hammons said.
Hall’s attempted murder
solicitation case stems from a
Jan. 10, 2013, incident where
Hall allegedly advertised on
the popular website Topix
that he would pay someone
$5,000 cash for the murder of
Melissa Jones Davis and the
concealment of her body.
He also faces a hindering prosecution charge that
stems from a June 24 incident
when police went to the Hall’s
grandmother’s house, where
he was staying, to serve him
with an arrest warrant for intimidating a participant in the
legal process.
In the harassing communications case, Reeves alleged
that between Jan. 19 - 22, Hall
sent her harassing messages.
Reeves alleged that after
Hall was released from jail, he
e-mailed her on Jan. 19, and
later wrote her again on Jan.
21 in another e-mail, according to the arrest warrant.
One of Hall’s many bond
conditions in his other cases
call for him not to use a computer while he is free on bond.
After Jan. 21 Reeves alleged that Hall started calling
her phone telling everything
about her, such as knowing
exactly what she was doing
and who she was dating, the
warrant alleged.
Knox Unite gets update on
addiction treatment options

Kristi Burnett (pictured) and Elaine
Passow of Baptist
Health Corbin Trillium Center spoke
at the Knox County Unite February
meeting.
BY JAY NOLAN
Publisher
“Our detox unit is seeing five to
six patients every single day now,”
Kristi Burnett, LPCA, told a record
crowd at the Knox County Unite
meeting on Tuesday.
Burnett, from the Trillium Center, also discussed some of the
in-patient and outpatient services
provided there to treat drug or alcohol addiction. She said the Corbin
facility does not have a waiting list.
“Almost always we have detox
beds open …just go to the Emergency Room for an assessment
24/7, and if needed, you can go directly to the unit,” she said.
The center also has therapist
available. Plus, they provide psychological, emotional and medical
assistance.
When questioned about how the
addiction problem has changed,
she and the director of outpatient
services, Elaine Passow, told the
local group, “The patients we have
now are much, much, much sicker.
The substances people are abusing
are much more dangerous.”
Drug addiction remains the
number one problem facing Knox
County, according to recent surveys. The Unite program’s goal is
to provide programs, raise awareness, and bring together multiple
community resources to fight the
problem.
Burnett encouraged the local
group to tell anyone needing help
overcoming a serious addiction to
contact her. She can be reached toll
free at 800-395-4435 or 606 3442547.

One Golden Can holds over 8,000 pounds
Special to the Mountain Advocate

From left to right are Jim Dorn, Don Root, Michael Davenport and Dr. Marcia Hawkins.
Kentucky Harvest Southeast Incorporated handed
out their 4th “Golden Can”
award during Union College’s 2015 Spring Convocation.
Jim Dorn, the organization’s President was on
hand to do the honors. He
noted, “We have been giving this award for 4 years
now and Union College
has won 4 years in a row.”
The competition (food
drive) ran between Oct.
15 and Nov. 20, 2014. To
make it as fair as possible,
winners are determined
with the following formula. Each school collected
non-perishable food items
Kentucky Harvest, Sysco Foods
donate food to Appalachian area
which were weighed to
obtain a final number.
Each college also reported the number of active
undergraduate students
currently enrolled. Union
collected 4,765 pounds
with 755 students, while
Cumberlands reported
3617 pounds with 1106
students. Union won the
Golden Can with 6.31
pounds per student.
In an interview later,
Dorn pointed out that the
big winners were hungry
people in this area. He
said, “I want you to know
that any food collected
by a group always remains in the area where
it was collected. Most of
“Union has an own ace
in the hole. Someone
was able to connect with
Shawn Black the manager
of the local Super Dollar.
The store will allow people to make canned good
and financial donations
inside the store. When
The Cumberlands finds
the store in their area that
will help them like this,
I am sure the pounds of
food will increase making
the race to the Golden can
much tighter.”
Dorn is asking everyone
to “Look for our Empty
Bowl Project starting the
first of April.”

Kentucky Harvest Southeast Board of Directors are Don Root, Jim
Revoir, Rosemary Revoir, Gina Sears, Christine Centers, Joni Croley,
Brendia Moses, Teresa Pope, Brandy Crase, Joann Maybrier, and Jim
Dorn.
Union’s food went to: The
Women’s Shelter inside
KCEOC and the Christian
Life Food Pantry located
1 block from the school.
The Cumberland’s food
was given to the Emergency Christian Services,
Cedar Ridge, and Williamsburg’s First Baptist
Church’s food pantry.
Dorn stated, “In order
for this hunger-fighting
program to be this successful, it takes leadership. These two colleges
have had wonderful
people pushing their
food drives, Union’s Dr.
Marcia Hawkins and The
Cumbersland’s Dr. Mike
Colegrow.”

For the Mountain Advocate
Several middle school youth
recently participated in a “Refuse to Use” Scavenger Hunt
beginning at The Ugly Mug as
part of the National Drug Facts
Week activities. The group
gathered to hear and read the
following facts about drugs: 1)
Marijuana – You can get addicted., 2) Most people who start
smoking in their teens become
regular smokers before they
are 18 years old., 3) More than
4 in 10 people who begin drinking before age 15 eventually be-
come alcoholics., 4) RX abuse
is drug abuse., 5) Drugs mess
with your brain’s wiring and
signals., 6) People continue to
smoke although they know it
is bad for them because they
are addicted to nicotine., 7)
The tobacco industry is trying
to get into your head and your
pockets through advertising.,
8) About 440,000 Americans
die from disease associated
with tobacco use each year., 9)
Drinking and driving can add
up to tragic endings In the U. S.
about 5,000 people under the
age of 21 die each year from
injuries caused by underage
drinking., 10) There is treatment available, and it works.
After the discussion, youth
were given different clues
every five minutes to locate
an empty cigarette pack with
the message “Refuse to Use.”
The cigarette pack was hidden
two times in order to have two
I-Phone Card winners. Winners
were John Michael Logan and
Micah Blevins. Everyone then
enjoyed hot chocolate after the
event. This was sponsored by
Knox County UNITE and the
Drug Free Communities Support Program.

The Knox Central Panthers continue to struggle
outside of region play
losing to Wayne County on Jan. 27, 83-79.
The Panthers stepped
outside of the region again
on Jan. 30 by playing in
the King of the Bluegrass
tournament and lost to
Fern Creek by four points,
70-66.

Knox Central’s Matthew Barger shoots over Wayne County’s Peyton Woods. Barger scored
35 points in a 79-83 loss.
On Jan. 31 Knox Central hit the road yet again
by traveling to Letcher
County to play Letcher
County Central where the
Panthers lost their fourth
straight, 80-74.
Head Coach Jamie Voight said after the Wayne
County game in which
Matthew Barger poured
in 35 points, “We have
to keep working on our
defense. We work on it
everyday.”
“Wayne County was a
really good team and that
had a lot to do with our
poor defense. The game
plan we had worked at
times. We just have to
keep working.”
Knox Central, due to
the Cardinals strong guard
play, abandoned the press
and most of their running
game in the first half.
Wayne County struck first
with a lay up to open the
game but Central found
the score board on the
block with Tanner Wells
and Chad Marsee for an
8-6 advantage early in the
first quarter.
The Panthers allowed
Wayne County to gain
the lead on a three by
freshman Jakson Baker
and three, three pointers
by senior guard Peyton
Woods to push the lead
to 18-10. After a timeout
by Voight at the 2:53 mark
in the first quarter, Knox
Central clawed back with
scoring by Wells, Barger
and Delonie Graham to
within four at the end of
the quarter, 25-21.
The Panthers continued to pound the ball
inside to Marsee much of
the second quarter and
managed to trade baskets
with Wayne County. Knox
Central’s Chad Marsee led
the way with 13 first half
points but trailed by three
at the half, 42-39.
“Wayne County is steady
with the ball,” said Coach
Voight. “We wanted to

working on them instead
of letting them beat a

Pirates hand Lynn Camp another loss
Wildcats on four game skid
BY DENNIS MILLS
[email protected]
The Wildcats continue to struggle on
the offensive end as they suffered their
fourth straight loss at the hands of the
Berea Pirates last week, 60-51.
Lynn Camp scored only eight points
in the first quarter and trailed by 11 as
the buzzer sounded, 19-8.
The Wildcats scratched back in the
second quarter with a three pointer
from senior guard Skylar McFarland, a
free throw by Austin Maier, four points
by Marcus Hollin and six points by Austin Withrow. Lynn Camp had cut the
deficit to five by halftime, 22-27.
Head Coach Eric Swords made
adjustments at half time that allowed
the Wildcats to score six unanswered
points, four by Austyn Weddle and a
three pointer by Skylar McFarland, to
give Lynn Camp the lead at 29-27.
After a Berea time out, the Pirates
connected on a shot to tie the game at
29 all.
Both teams traded baskets until McFarland hit a three with 2:16 remaining
in the quarter for a 37-34 advantage.
Berea would not be denied as the
Wildcats went cold in the fourth quarter. The Pirates scored six unanswered
points of their own to jump out to a
seven point lead and extended it to 10
mid-ways through the fourth quarter
at 41-51.
The lead was too much for the
Wildcats to overcome as Berea beat
the Wildcats for the second time of the
season, 60-51.
Lynn Camp had 10 players see
action with senior Skylar McFarland
leading the way with 18 points and
three rebounds. Austin Maier added
nine points, Marcus Hollin shot for
eight, Austin Withrow and Bronson
Roaden each scored five while Austyn
Weddle shot for six.
The Wildcats will host Jellico, TN on
Feb. 3 at home and travel to J. Frank
White Academy in Tennessee on Feb. 6.

UNION COLLEGE SPORTS UPDATE
Bulldogs roll to 10th straight win, 89-70, over TWC
BY JOHN GATTO
FOR THE MOUNTAIN ADVOCATE
Forward Deante Johnson (SR/
Cincinnati, Ohio) paced four
double-digit scorers with 19
points, as the Union College
men’s basketball team coasted
to a convincing 89-70 victory
over Tennessee Wesleyan on
Saturday night in Appalachian
Athletic Conference play at Robsion Arena.
The win was Union’s 10th
straight, as the Bulldogs moved
to 19-4 overall on the year, 12-1
in the AAC with the victory. Ten-
nessee Wesleyan fell to 10-12,
5-9 in the AAC with the loss.
In the first three minutes of
the contest, the pace of play
was fast and furious, as Union
clung to a 9-8 lead over TWC.
Here, the host Bulldogs went on
a big run that essentially put the
visitors away, as a 14-2 spurt put
Union up 23-10 with 12:51 left in
the half.
The rest of the half saw Union
maintain a large lead over TWC,
as it stayed at double-digits for
the rest of the period. When
the horn sounded for halftime,
Union held a 44-30 lead over
TWC, as the host Bulldogs shot
53 percent in the first half to take
the big lead.
Union put some more separation between themselves and
Wesleyan at the beginning of the
second half, as a quick 11-2 run
put the host Bulldogs up 55-32
with 16 minutes left in the game.
Once Union went up by over
20 points, TWC was unable to
get very close (19 points on two
separate occasions, including
the end of the game), as Union
rolled down the stretch to notch

Mildred Higgins
not have had the vote or the
trappings of power {including personal disposable
income and independence}
but they were the moral,
spiritual, and physical center
of the home, responsible
for creating a welcome
retreat of beauty, comfort,
and contentment that
would protect, nurture, and
sustain those they love.
To achieve this, ordinary middle class women
elevated the pursuit of
domestic bliss to an extraordinary art form, from
white-linen Sunday dinners
to blue-checked gingham
Independence Day picnics.
Women approached the
domestic arts…..cooking,
decorating, gardening,
handcrafts and entertaining…not as burdens but as a
form of personal expression
and a means of persuasion.
Traditions that celebrated
the joys of home and family
acted as the mystical mortar
that held bodies and soul
together in a tumultuous
society that was changing at the speed of light.
“Home is where we start
from,’ T.S. Eliot observes.
Today, a century after he
was born, “home” is a place
where many women are
longing to return, if not
literally, then figuratively.
Begin believing that the
time, energy, and emotion
you invest daily in the soul
craft of home caring…
craving holds no more
guarantees for us then
it did for our Victorian
foremothers. Yet they faced
the future with full hearts,
determined to create a
lasting work of art: a happy.
secure, and beautiful retreat
of love and laughter. “We
can too.” author unknown.
Millie’s quote for today:
“Every spirit builds itself a
house, and beyond its house
a world, and beyond its
world a heaven. Know then
that world exist for you.”
--Ralph Waldo Emerson
My thought for today:
“home is where the heart is.”

During the nineteenth
century the home was
viewed as “heaven on earth,”
a hallowed haven in an uncertain world. When man,
woman, or child crossed the
threshold they were safe.
“not only from injury,” wrote
John Ruskin, “but from all
terror, doubt and division.”
Today many of us cast
a nostalgic glance backward. The Victorian era
seems so clam, gentle, and
gracious…so completely
opposite from our own. Yet
the four decades spanning
the Civil War to turn of the
century were among the
most politically, socially,
and economically turbulent years in our history.
Why, then should a
period of such profound
upheaval comes down to
us not only as an age of
innocence but also as one
of stability and tranquility?
I believe, in a larger
part, it is because of a
legacy of love left to us by
our great-grandmothers
who reigned over their
